About This Trend
CECOT (Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo) is a mega-prison located in Tecoluca, El Salvador, designed to detain individuals associated with terrorism and organized crime. It is one of the largest prisons in the world and has been a focal point in El Salvador's efforts to combat gang violence.
The prison is currently trending due to recent reports about its harsh conditions and the detention of U.S. deportees, including Venezuelan migrants. Critics have raised concerns over human rights violations and the lack of transparency in its operations.
